Anyone else experience A LOT of pain after injecting Lovenox (injection blood thinner)? I was prescribed it for a month following my colon resection surgery and the injections don’t hurt at all during but then about a minute after, they hurt so much for about 3-5 minutes then feels like nothing. But that few minutes I’m breathing through the pain. The first few days after surgery, the injections were totally fine and this only started about a week into them. I called the pharmacist and he said it sounds like I’m doing everything right and storing it correctly.... he said I could put ice on it for a minute but it might slow the absorption and I don’t want to do anything that would make them less effective.

I’ve got 16 more of them and probably nothing that I can do about it but just wondering if anyone else experienced this or if it’s just me!

alexisrj‍ I am so sorry you are suffering. Can you phone the nurse's hotline and ask your question, then check in with your doctor on Monday? I would hope there is a solution. Maybe some of the others can help.

Thanks Wendy Tea‍ ! I will look into it. I think there’s not much I can do about it and really not many left..... I know I can push through it! I just didn’t find much about it on google so wasn’t sure if others experienced this too.
